Friday ✅-in: Teamwork makes the dream work 💪
Plus my top hunger killers when there’s no time to eat.
It’s Friday, which means it’s time to do a little recon on that brain of yours 🧠 What little, seemingly inconsequential thoughts and beliefs are back there running the show?
This month we’re devoting our attention to our bodies (if you missed something, you can catch-up here.) Set your timer, grab a pen or open up your doc ✍️ (if you’re an Eating Redefined member you can find this week’s writing guide attached to the bottom of the post), and brain dump on this:
What are some ways I could make my body's job easier this week, and why would it make a difference?
Here are a few of mine to get you started…
I could:
Eat whole foods regularly 🍠 Eating whole foods will give my body the fuel it needs to get it’s job done, so although I might still eat less healthy foods, at least I put my body’s needs first.
Make sure every meal has protein 🍗 I know protein is filling, so I can set myself up to naturally eat less by always including it.
Head to bed at the same time every night 💤 I’ll establish a rhythm for my body to count on, making falling asleep easier. Being well-rested means less cravings and more willpower.
Now onto your “Eat When You’re Hungry” challenge update:

Last week you finally started putting your newly discovered hunger signals to the test. As you get more comfortable listening to your body, try to rely on your hunger signals as often as possible to guide your eating decisions. It won’t take long for you to make serious headway and break through some of those old, habitual eating triggers.
To make your life a little easier, this week I’m giving you my top snacks for when hunger hits unexpectedly. These will all hold you over until you have time for a real meal without leaving you totally stuffed and ready for a nap 🥱
